After the matter was made clear, Martin still had to discuss the matter with the chief director and several other directors of the Municipal Council. He led Su Bai to the garage in the backyard of the Municipal Council.

Han Charlie was right, this black Buick sedan was very new, and Martin said the previous owner only drove it for more than two months before returning to Europe.

He asked someone to fill up the gas and handed the car keys to Su Bai.

"Can Miss Lan drive herself?"

Su Bai nodded: "Yes, but I'm not very skilled." Su Bai was just not very skilled with cars of this era.

"Okay, be careful on the road and wait for my good news!" Martin was very confident about the pharmaceutical factory and was sure that the chairman of the Municipal Council would support this matter.

But the prerequisite is that Guangci Hospital has good feedback on the effectiveness of Han Xiaoxiao's medication.

Martin told Su Bai that he would call Guangci Hospital immediately after sending her away. Once the news there was confirmed, he would immediately go to find the directors and convene a meeting of the directors.

The situation has become so large that the result is better than Su Bai expected. As long as an agreement is reached with the Municipal Council, it will be many times more difficult for the Japanese special forces to get involved than before.

Su Bai drove out of the Municipal Council and found that Han Charlie's T-model car was still parked outside the corner of the courtyard next to the Municipal Council waiting for her, so she drove the car closer and said, "Inspector Han, go and do your work."

“How much did you buy it for?” Han Charlie was very interested in the price.

"2000." Su Bai casually said a price. He couldn't say that he gave Martin 10 gold bars, right?

"You didn't give any concessions at all?"

"This car is very good, basically it's a new car." Whether it was a new car or an old car, Su Bai had no intention of taking it away as long as he left Shanghai.

If you want to drive long distances, you need to carry as much gas as possible in the trunk, because there aren't enough places to refuel on the road these days.

After Su Bai drove the car directly back to No. 55 Haige Road, he called a rickshaw and went to No. 9 Zilaihuo East Street. This was the courtyard he bought after coming to Shanghai again. Before, he and Zi Yan always called this place the old courtyard and No. 41 Bishop Yao Road the new courtyard.

A black Buick was parked outside the yard. It was also his own car, the one left behind by Mr. Xu. After Mr. Xu left Shanghai for Europe, the car had been used by Manager Wan, who ran around to get goods for Linhua's company.

Now, he is basically no longer needed to run around, and his main job is to handle goods.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the father and son of the Wan family walking out of the house together.

Su Bai looked at the time, it was 10 o'clock in the morning.

The telegram time with Longxing was 9 o'clock, so these two people should have just sent a telegram to them.

"Miss Lan, we thought you wouldn't come again!" Manager Wan said as soon as they met.

In the past few days, Su Bai really didn't come here much during the time of sending and receiving telegrams. Basically, there was nothing important to do, except for the purchase lists of the two young ladies. Kong Yun kept urging her to rent a house as she wanted to come to Shanghai to take a look.

However, Kong Yun did not ask again in the past few days.

"Is everything okay? Is the Second Miss asking about the rent again?" Su Bai thought that it was time for Kong Yun to ask about this since he hadn't asked for a few days.

"No, no, the second young lady just added a few more kinds of goods." Shopkeeper Wan said that a purchase list was just brought over yesterday, and a few more kinds were added today.

"Oh, is the money enough?" Su Bai asked.

"It's enough. We can't use it up even if we restock a few more times!"

Not long ago, Su Bai gave Manager Wan a few gold bars to use for purchasing goods for Longxing.

"It's good as long as the money is enough. If not, you can ask Zi Yan for more. I'm going to Nanjing these days." Su Bai lied to Manager Wan and his son. She planned to hide at No. 55 Haige Road for a while to avoid the limelight.

She had a premonition these days that someone would come to see her.

It could be Luo Pinzhang, or it could be some other uninvited guest.

If it was Luo Pinzhang, it would be okay. After giving him the drug sample, we could delay for a few more days. But if it was someone else, the outcome would be hard to say.

He lied that after going to Nanjing, he would not show up on the street except for matters concerning the Municipal Council and the pharmaceutical factory, and would wait for news on further developments before making a decision.

This was also done to resolve the current awkwardness between him and Manager Wan. Although he had to be natural and expressionless every time he met Manager Wan, he felt more and more embarrassed inside.

There is a gap between people's hearts, and working together becomes increasingly awkward.

But Su Bai still had to continue doing business with Manager Wan, because she was not sure about Wan Qili's identity and background. If she turned against her, she didn't know what she would do to her in desperation.

"Going to Nanjing? What are you going to do in Nanjing?" Shopkeeper Wan immediately understood after asking: "I know, Miss Lan is going alone?"

"Go alone. The fewer people who know about this, the better."

"I also have friends in Nanjing. Do you want me to go with you?" Manager Wan asked immediately.

"No need, just take care of the Linhua Commercial Bank's business here. We are now living off our savings, and we will have to rely on the commercial bank over there for a while."

In order to make the play more realistic, Su Bai specifically asked Manager Wan for the phone numbers and addresses of several of his friends in Nanjing so that he could contact them if necessary.

"I'll send a message back if there's anything."

Su Bai bought some shengjian on the street and took two rickshaws before returning to No. 55 Haige Road. He did this because he was afraid of being followed.

From today on, I will cook at home. To be honest, my cooking skills are not that good. I am only slightly better than Xu Tianyi, but not much better.

However, heating up the fried dumplings you bought doesn't really show how bad your cooking skills are.

After lunch, Su Bai went upstairs and lay down for a while. Then Zi Yan called back from the pharmaceutical factory. It was Martin who called the pharmaceutical factory and asked her to go to the Municipal Council early the next morning.

It seems that this matter has been accomplished.

……

On the morning of July 7, Su Bai and Xu Tianyi drove to the Municipal Council. Su Bai asked Xu Tianyi to drive around the neighborhood to practice his driving skills, while he went upstairs to meet Martin.

Sure enough, everything was settled and Martin had the agreement ready.

The content of the agreement not only met the requirements Su Bai put forward yesterday, but also added a few insignificant payments.

Su Bai proposed yesterday that in order to better protect the pharmaceutical factory, Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory would have no external relationship with Lan Jieru and would hand over everything to the Municipal Board.

This is what Su Bai thought at the time. What the Municipal Council valued was streptomycin. The production process of the drug was in his hands, so he was not afraid that they would seize his pharmaceutical factory.

What's more, he would not stay in Shanghai for a long time. As long as he got the approval of the National Government, it didn't matter if the pharmaceutical factory was given to the French Concession.

This agreement stipulates the interests and management rights held by the party in the pharmaceutical factory owned by the Municipal Council.

Su Bai was looking at the terms of the agreement carefully. Martin was telling Su Bai that Guangci Hospital did not find anyone secretly giving Han Xiaoxiao drugs. After he called yesterday, the hospital took it very seriously. When Han Xiaoxiao's latest examination report came out, the dean personally organized a special meeting of experts in the hospital.

"The dean called me and asked me where the medicine came from. God, he was so excited!" Martin was also very excited when he said this, and his two fat hands kept dancing in the air.

Su Bai saw the last page of the agreement. One party to the agreement was Lan Jieru, and the other party was: the Municipal Council’s Health Department, Epidemic Prevention Center, Fahua Pharmaceutical Company.
